"EXHIBIT A"
FLORIDA COMMUNITIES TRUST
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE BULLETIN: 02
DRAFTING A MANAGEMENT PLAN
Your conceptual management plan submitted as a part of the application should serve as
a basis for the management plan. Commitments made in the application should be
reflected in the plan where appropriate. The conditions outlined in the Conceptual
Approval Agreement are to be incorporated in the management plan. The following is a
generalized outline reflecting some of the issues that need to be addressed in the
management plan:
1. Introduction
General information and introduction including the name of the project and
location.
2. Purpose
Statement of purpose for which the Project Site will be acquired including what
type of activities are proposed at the Project Site. The purpose and activities
on the Project Site need to conform with the Florida Communities Trust
Preservation 2000 Program which only allows for expenditures of funds for the
acquisition of lands for natural resource conservation and outdoor recreation.
Recreational activities on the Project Site should be limited to resource-based
activities. '
3. Structures and improvements
Existing and proposed physical improvements to the Project Site should be
identified and located on a master site plan. These might include, but are not
limited to, signs, fences, walkways, recreational paths, campgrounds, restrooms,
educational space, utility corridors, and buildings. Any proposed alteration of
land use or character is to be identified including the approximate size, either
in square feet or acres. Identify any permits that may be required for the
development or restoration of the site such as wetland permits and coastal
construction permits.
If easements, concessions, or leases are anticipated to be granted on the Project
Site, such proposed arrangements need to be identified. These might include
utility rights-of-way, flowage or access easements, recreation or supply
concessions, and leases or other instruments which would allow grazing,
timbering, agriculture, or other revenue producing enterprises.
Identify how access to the Project Site will be provided. For example, are
parking places proposed on-site, and if so, approximately how many spaces or how
much area (square feet or acres) will be devoted to this use? If parking is not
proposed on-site, are there existing or proposed spaces adjacent to or
sufficiently near the property? Identify any proposed access to waterbodies
including, but not limited to, marinas, docks, boat ramps, fishing piers or
viewing platforms and the approximate size of the facility.
4. Key management activities
Maintenance: Identify who will be responsible for property maintenance, which
might include, but are not limited to, trash removal, site cleanup, and
facilities upkeep. Identify what procedures are to be taken to ensure that
dumping of trash or hazardous material does not occur on or adjacent to the
project Site. All contemplated service contracts with private concerns need to
be identified such as garbage pick up, security guards, etc.
Security: Identify the parties responsible for preventing vandalism,
trespassing, or other property damage. Identify what measures are to be taken
1
to protect the Project Sit,e and the public using the site such as on-bite
manager, security guards, neighborhood watch, emergency phones, etc. '"
"\
Staffing: Identify the expected staffing requirements for management of the
Project Site including both permanent and volunteer staff.
Natural resource protection: Identify the primary components of Project Site
management. These might include, but are not limited to, baseline survey of
listed plant and animal species, protection of listed plant and animal species,
protection of imperiled or critically imperiled vegetative communities,
protection of geological features, protection of surface water and groundwater
quality, hydroperiod management, and prescribed burns. Also, identify any parts
of the Project Site which require different degrees or types of management.
Archeological and historical resource protection: Identify any archeological or
historical sites on the project Site and the primary components of managing the
archeological or historical sites. Also, outline procedures to protect
archeological or historical sites that may be identified in the future.
Explain how the proposed management will be coordinated with adjacent land uses.
For example, in the case of prescribed burns, what measures will be used to
minimize impacts on nearby residential properties? Identify measures to protect
the Project Sites from adjacent off-site activities that might impact resources
on the project site such as pesticide spraying on adj acent property, water
treatment facility discharging into creeks flowing through Project Site, etc.
S. Resource enhancement
Identify the primary components of the project Site enhancement and restoration.
These might include, but are not limited to, exotic plant and animal removal,
restoration of wetlands, improvement of surface water quality, listed species
recovery plan, and restoration of uplands habitat. Also, identify parts of the
property which require different degrees or types of enhancement management.
Explain how the proposed restoration measures will be coordinated with adjacent
land uses. For example, in the case of wetlands restoration, would increased
storage or hydroperiod present any risk of flooding to the adjacent lands?
6. Cost estimate and funding source
Identify the estimated costs of the various development, maintenance, and
enhancement activities as outlined in the plan. The estimated costs of
development, "key management activities" and "resource enhancement" activities
should be separated for review and analysis purposes.
Identify who will pay for the development and maintenance of the Project Site.
The proposed source(s) are to be identified along with some measure of the
commitment or capacity to provide these monies. For example, it may be determine
that there are adequate personnel and resources in the local parks and recreation
department to address the added burden associated with the Project Site.
Identify any citizen organization or non-profit groups that have committed to
providing services or funding.
7. Priority schedule
Identify approximate time lines for funding and implementing the various
activities proposed in the management plan.
8. Monitoring
Identify procedures for assessing the progress in meeting the goals set forth in
the management plan such as the percentage of property restored, inventory of
species using the Project Site, etc. Identify procedures for review of the
management plan in conjunction with the submittal of the annual FCT stewardship
report and provisions to update the plan when necessary.
